Frequently Asked Questions
Which materials resist Nickel Sulfate at high concentrations?
The materials with an A rating (resistant) for Nickel Sulfate at 20 °C are: PTFE, HDPE, PP, PVDF, PVC Rigid, EPDM, Viton (FPM), NBR. These can generally be used in direct contact.
Which materials should be avoided with Nickel Sulfate?
Materials rated D (not resistant) for Nickel Sulfate are: Aluminium. These should not be used in contact with Nickel Sulfate.
Does temperature affect chemical resistance to Nickel Sulfate?
Yes. 1 of 15 tested materials show a worse rating at 50 °C than at 20 °C for Nickel Sulfate. Materials affected include: PVC Flexible.
Is PTFE safe for Nickel Sulfate?
PTFE is rated A for Nickel Sulfate at 20 °C. A rating of A means resistant, B means limited resistance, C means partly resistant, and D means not resistant.
Does concentration affect chemical resistance to Nickel Sulfate?
Yes. Nickel Sulfate is tested at 2 concentrations (aqueous, saturated). Some materials change their rating depending on the concentration.
About this data
The ratings come from the chemical resistance list published by Bürkle GmbH, which compiled them from raw-material manufacturers’ data. They describe laboratory tests on the raw material at 20 °C and 50 °C.
A finished part also sees pressure, mechanical stress, welds and mixtures that a laboratory test does not. Treat the rating as a first filter and test under your own conditions before relying on it.
